Journalists reporting Pelosi has emailed these WH talking points to Dems

[highplainsdem]

I've seen these talking points in tweets from a number of journalists, none of whom have had a positive reaction to them.


From WaPo and CNN's Josh Rogin:

1. BFD. The point is to get all this blame off of Biden-- anyone got a problem...

with that now that the rightwing noise and bullshit machine is up and running/

[stillcool]

2. 'they are not good'

What does that even mean?

3. What it means is that too many journaiists are willing to blame Biden no matter what the real facts

are.

I'm already seeing tweets accusing Biden of "victim shaming" for pointing out the Afghans' responsibility.

4. The twitterverse isn't real life. It is just a handful of loud out of touch people/ideologues

I understand Biden gave a very good speech on the withdrawal today.

5. The twitterverse includes a lot of journalists. But I agree about Biden's speech today.

7. Here's a link to Biden's remarks:

I wasn’t referring to the journalists on Twitter - was thinking more about the self-appointed “political commentators”

Thanks for posting!

6. As Nicolle Wallace just said, 95% of the public

agrees with Biden on this, but 95% of the press disagree.

8. Journos who wring their hands over this: where have they been for the last 40 years of GOPers

…always being on message and using the same phrases as each other? How do they think that’s been achieved — by telepathy?

Good for the Speaker of. The House, who is one of ours and darned good at it.
